Chapter 194 The Conditions of the Five Old Stars
"...Formally recommend Lieutenant General Rogers Darren for promotion to Admiral of the Navy Headquarters!"
Gang Gukong's deep and deep voice, with the unique firmness of a battle-hardened warrior, echoed in the empty meeting hall of this ancient city.
Wu Laoxing paused for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Cyborg Kong calmly.
"Didn't that kid Darren's application for promotion to general candidate just be submitted?"
The "Financial God of War" Nasjuro Sei said calmly with his katana flat on his knees:
"We have agreed to the approval process and it will be transferred to your naval headquarters soon."
The short-haired "Agricultural God of War" Peter took a sip of tea and said casually:
"That brat Darren is indeed very capable, but is it too early to be promoted to admiral at such an age?"
Maz Sheng, the "Environmental God of War" with a long white beard, smiled and said:
"If we remember correctly, when he was promoted to admiral during the Warring States Period, he was also in his thirties, right?"
Saint Satan, who was wearing a black flat hat, nodded and said:
"Darren's character is too arrogant and impatient. If possible, we still hope to give him a few more years of experience."
Hearing Wu Laoxing's answer, Cyborg Kong was not discouraged.
Wulaoxing's opposition was not very strong, and he naturally knew that he could continue to fight for it.
So he calmed down, followed the draft in his mind, and said in a deep voice:
"My lords' judgment is naturally correct."
"But the current situation in the new world is grim, and the navy is at the moment when it needs to hire people. It urgently needs a strong figure to stabilize the morale of the military."
"Our Lieutenant General Rogers Darren has a distinguished record and numerous meritorious deeds since his rise from Beihai. Both his strength and prestige have already surpassed the level of a general candidate."
"During the recent implementation of the King's Shichibukai system, he has made great contributions to the government and the navy."
"If such a talent is only given the false title of candidate for general of the headquarters, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public and undermine the majesty of you adults and the world government."
"Even putting aside the above reasons, since Zefa resigned from the post of admiral, the post of admiral in the Navy Headquarters has been vacant for a long time, and the military and government affairs tasks are heavy. Warring States alone has already been unable to support himself."
"If Lieutenant General Rogers Darren can be promoted to the rank of Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, it will solve many arduous tasks and pressures for the Navy Headquarters."
Having said this, Cyborg Kong stared at Wulaoxing with stern eyes, held his head high, and showed a resounding determination.
Wu Laoxing was silent for a moment, and then suddenly laughed at the same time.
"I didn't expect you to think highly of that brat Darren, Sora."
"It seems that you are ready to come to the Holy Land to take office and make final arrangements for the Navy Headquarters."
"This is good."
"Rogers Darren is indeed an outstanding talent. He has been able to complete many tasks assigned by the government in the past with near perfection."
"It's not impossible for him to be promoted to admiral of the Navy Headquarters ahead of schedule."
The words they spoke to each other were calm and gentle, and their actions were enough to determine a person's future and even destiny.
"So your lords agree?"
Cyborg Hollow was delighted.
His arrangement to go to the Holy Land to serve as the commander-in-chief of the World Government's military had actually been put on the agenda for a long time, but it was only delayed until now because he was worried about the Navy Headquarters.
He has great trust in Seng Guo, the disciple and subordinate he trained with his own hands. However, the world situation is changing rapidly, and Seng Guo alone may not be able to support the important task of justice.
After all, when Sengoku takes over his position and becomes Admiral of the Navy, there will be an unprecedented three vacancies for Admiral!
The selection of candidates to take over as generals must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
Although the qualifications and strengths of Sakaski and Porusalino are completely consistent, their character flaws are too obvious and their styles are very different, making it difficult to balance the navy, government and the world's forces well. relation.
Especially now that the Shichibukai system has been established, the situation in the sea has become even more treacherous and unpredictable. Facing the ambitious Shichibukai, neither Sakaski nor Porusalino are the best candidates to deal with them.
On the other hand, that kid Darren, although he is lustful, corrupt and depraved, is incredibly reliable in dealing with political issues, even more sophisticated than him, a naval marshal who has been immersed in politics for many years.
As long as Darren is promoted to the position of admiral, he can complement Sengoku very well.
The Warring States Period was mainly responsible for all government and military affairs within the navy and overall planning;
Darren is responsible for external expansion and maintenance of diplomatic relations, killing and attacking;
In addition, Darren can also balance the relationship between Sakaski, Porusalino and Kuzan to form a competitive balance...
Warring States and Darren cooperated, both inside and outside, plus the rise of the "Golden Generation" headed by Darren...
Ganggukong has absolute confidence and certainty that he can clearly foresee that the navy will usher in an era of unprecedented strength!
If all these things can be prepared, Cyborg Kong can safely resign as the marshal of the headquarters and come to the Holy Land to accept his appointment.
"Sora, you know that we always value your opinions very much."
The bald and bearded "Legal Martial God" Wuchuli Sheng smiled and said:
"Since you are so determined to promote Rogers Darren as an exception, we will naturally not object."
"After all, Rogers Darren's talents are indeed outstanding, especially when it comes to certain things, he is bold enough."
When he said the last sentence, a strange light flashed in his old eyes, which seemed to mean something.
Cyborg Kong didn't notice the tone of this old Star Martial God who was recognized as "resourceful", and said with some excitement:
"Thank you for your trust, sir. I will draw up the promotion documents immediately..."
"etc."
At this moment, Saint Satan, who was holding the ancient cane with both hands, suddenly smiled and spoke.
"We have a condition."
condition?
Cyborg was stunned for a moment.
Before he could react, Saint Satan slowly took out a gilded letter from his arms and placed it on the coffee table.
"The triennial World Noble Hunting Competition is coming soon. After our discussion, we have decided to hold this hunting competition on Felsek Island."
Cyborg Kong's pupils suddenly shrank into thin needles.
Noble hunting contest! ?
He, who had always been as calm as a mountain, now had a look of surprise and nervousness on his face, and his mind went blank for a moment.
A name like a nightmare suddenly jumped into his mind, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar and his whole body was chilled.
——Valley of Gods!
Others may not know it clearly, but as the supreme commander of the navy, he certainly knows the essence of the Valley of the Gods incident that year, which was a hunting competition specially held for the Tianlong people!
This event uses all the indigenous people in the Valley of the Gods as "prey", allowing the elite Tianlong people to hunt freely and compete in martial arts. The winner will receive huge rewards!
That was...a genocide of inhumanity!
However, since the Battle of the Valley of the Gods, the Tianlong people suffered serious injuries, and this triennial "event" has long been stopped.
But now, they want to restart this inhumane "event"! ?
An unspeakable panic and uneasiness surged into Cyborg Kong's heart, causing a thin layer of cold sweat to break out on his forehead.
Saint Satan looked at Cyborg Kong with a smile but not a smile, and his tone was strange and playful:
"The condition we put forward is that... the security task of this World Noble Hunting Competition will be undertaken by the future Admiral Rogers Darren."
Cyborg Kong's eyes suddenly widened, and an extremely uneasy premonition took over his mind.
Before he could say anything, Saint Satan had already added with a sneer:
"By the way, I almost forgot to mention that Felsek Island... is in the North Sea."
The steel frame was empty as if struck by lightning.
